Xeon E5-2430 v2 Details

The Intel Xeon E5-2430 v2 stands as a server-grade processor from 2013, a product of the Ivy Bridge-EN microarchitecture built on a 22 nm process. With a base clock of 2.5 GHz and a locked multiplier, it delivers a balanced performance profile for its era, leveraging Intel Hyper-Threading to achieve 12 threads across its 6 cores. While its 80 W TDP indicates higher power consumption and demands adequate cooling, the processor’s 15 MB of L3 cache and support for ECC DDR3 memory make it suitable for mission-critical server environments. It lacks integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU for visual output, but offers robust virtualization features, including VT-x and VT-d, enabling efficient virtual machine operations.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon E5-2430 v2 achieves an Overall Score of 4467, placing it at #1319 out of 2060 processors, with a Singlecore Score of 4358 (#1431) and a Multicore Score of 4630 (#1051). These results position it competitively among mid-tier server and workstation processors from its generation. Its multicore performance is particularly strong, outperforming many desktop CPUs of the time such as the Core i5-7360U and Core i7-2715QE, while its single-core score aligns closely with predecessors like the Core i5-2557M and Athlon II X4 555. This suggests the chip was optimized for multi-threaded workloads rather than single-threaded performance.

Despite its age, the Xeon E5-2430 v2 remains relevant in legacy systems where stability, ECC memory, and multi-socket scalability are priorities. Its ability to pair with a second processor in an SMP configuration allows for expanded memory bandwidth and processing power, making it a viable option in small-scale server deployments or virtualization hosts. However, in the context of modern computing, where top-tier processors like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX exceed 12,000 in multicore performance, the E5-2430 v2 is significantly outpaced. As of March 2026, it serves best in environments where cost-effective, reliable performance outweighs cutting-edge speed.
